Her last book European Encounters with the Yamana People of Cape Horn, Before and After Darwin (2010, New York, Cambridge University Press) is a narrative of the dramas played out from 1578 to 2000 in the Cape Horn area of Chile by the native people, the navigators, the missionaries and other Europeans.
